The Path of the Sage

Chapter 504: Poetry Madness

Views:

Fang Yun said nothing and flew to a high place. He found that the fluctuation of his talent was extremely slight. He could actually write other war poems immediately after finishing "Arrow in the Stone".

Once the talent fluctuates too much, scholars will not be able to write war poems, and even the power of verbal battles will be reduced. The more stable the talent, the more times war poems will be used in the same period of time.

The lower the literary rank of the war poem, the less shock to talent it caused, so many scholars who were good at fighting would choose to major in a self-created scholar's war poem or juren's war poem.

If the Scholar's Poetry Battle can reach the second level of Poetry Soul, then its power will be equal to that of the Juren's Poetry Battle. If it reaches the third level of Summoning Saint, then its power will be comparable to that of the Jinshi's Poetry Battle.

The power of the battle poems of the third-level scholars is equal to that of the ordinary Jinshi, but the talent consumption of the former is less than one percent of the latter, and the talent shock formed is extremely slight and can be displayed continuously, which is extremely terrifying.

The human race respectfully calls those who can cultivate low-level war poetry to the third level "Poetry Maniacs". These people are extremely powerful, and are generally older Jinshi or Hanlin scholars who are not particularly talented. These Poetry Maniacs are even much more efficient in killing monsters and barbarians than many children of aristocratic families.

As for the poets who can cultivate a war poem to the fourth level, they are all important figures in dangerous places such as Liangjie Mountain.

Li Wenying is one of the crazy poets, but he is crazier than ordinary crazy poets, because the war poem he has reached the third level is the Jinshi war poem "Wind, Rain and Sword Poem". The power of the Jinshi war poem of the third level is equivalent to that of the university scholar war poem!

Many people hope that Li Wenying can cultivate "Wind and Rain Sword Poem" to the fourth level. By then, he will be able to continuously display "Wind and Rain Sword Poem" which is as powerful as the great Confucian war poem. Not to mention those ordinary great demon kings, even the Holy Son Great Demon King and even the Dragon Great Demon King may be exhausted to death by him with this battle poem.

If it weren't for the fact that it is extremely difficult to practice combat poetry to the third or fourth level, almost all scholars who often fight would choose to be poetry maniacs.

Fang Yun stood on the dragon cloud, writing like a flying pen, and finished the poem in one breath. The second arrow in the stone appeared.

Although the total of Fang Yun's four talents at the moment is only one inch and two points, this is the talent of a Jinshi with great talent. The total amount of talent is still dozens of times that of a top Juren. Fang Yun's continuous use of the scholar's war poem "Arrow in the Stone" is currently the most effective means of combat.

An ordinary second-level "Arrow in the Stone" has the power of a juren war poem. With the addition of the Wenbao pen, Longnao inkstone, the original work and the handed-down treasure light, as well as the power of the monarch's star position, Fang Yun's "Arrow in the Stone" has at least 80% of the power of a juren war poem.

The penetrating power contained in "The Arrow in the Stone" is the most deadly.

The second arrow flew out of the stone, and the two dragon demon commanders did not take it lightly. One immediately dodged, while the dragon demon commander whose hand was shot through before was not convinced. He opened his mouth wide, blood surged, and with a loud roar, bloody smoke flew out of his mouth.

The thick smoke quickly expanded and condensed into dragon heads, like a bloody monster with hundreds of heads pouncing towards Fang Yun.

"Whoosh..."

The arrow in the stone silently pierced through the witchcraft monster and went straight to the chest of the Dragon Demon Commander.

The Dragon Demon Commander was startled and dodged in a hurry, then he heard a hissing sound. The arrow in the stone pierced his shoulder, and the power contained in it exploded at the wound.

The magic collapsed, and Dragon Demon Commander screamed, looking down, he saw a hole as big as a bowl on his shoulder.

"Something's wrong! Retreat!" The uninjured dragon demon commander retreated quickly.

The injured Dragon Demon Commander showed a fearful look and slowly retreated, saying: "This human is very different. He may be a genius from the Saint Family. We stand here and wait. When Lord Demon Marquis arrives, he will surely die."

"You shouldn't speak so loudly." Another dragon demon commander was dissatisfied.

"Humans can't understand our ancient demon language, don't be afraid. I really want to know what kind of power is hidden in his arrows. It can actually treat my scales as nothing! Even the powerful Jinshi war poem can only damage my scales, and will never cause such a terrible wound!"

"I don't know either. Wait for the demon lord... No, he wants to run away!"

The two dragon demon commanders watched in amazement as Fang Yun stepped on the dragon energy cloud, quickly rose into the air, and flew away into the distance.

Fang Yun put the two confused dragon demon generals behind his mind, frowned, and kept thinking in his heart.

“From what these two dragon demon commanders said, they actually targeted me. There is even a dragon demon marquis coming for me. Could it be that I alarmed the dragon demon marquis when I was promoted to Saintly Advanced Scholar? Originally, my enemies were only Yao Man and Lei Jiu from the demon world, but now the dragon demon marquis has been added!”

"If there was a verbal battle, I could leave calmly even if I couldn't deal with the Dragon Demon Marquis. But now, let alone verbal battles, I don't even have enough talent. I dare not use the overly powerful Jinshi war poem. It will be vulnerable in front of the Dragon Demon Marquis."

Fang Yun looked back and suddenly saw a line of smoke and dust emerging from a floating cloud land hundreds of miles behind him, and the smoke and dust was spreading towards here rapidly.

Fang Yun hurriedly took out the telescope given by the Mo family from the Yinjiangbei, put it in front of his eyes and looked at the smoke and dust.

In the rolling smoke and dust, a huge dragon monster as tall as a two-story building was seen running. The dragon monster's body was covered with blue-black scales, but the edges of the scales were very light gold.

The two dragon demon commanders looked like upright lizard barbarians, but the dragon demon marquis looked like a strong crocodile barbarian. The dragon demon marquis's feet were extremely powerful, and the ground cracked and smoke and dust rose as he ran. His speed far exceeded Fang Yun's dragon energy cloud.

Fang Yun looked carefully and saw that there were three dragon patterns on the Dragon Demon Marquis' face, two deep and one shallow!

Fang Yun's expression changed slightly.

The method of judging the strength of the dragon demon clan is very simple, relying on the dragon patterns on the face. Having two light dragon patterns is a demon marquis, equivalent to a Hanlin, but this demon marquis has three dragon patterns, and two are deep and one is light. He is definitely one of the strongest dragon demon marquises in Denglongtai.

Fang Yun quickly determined the strength of the Dragon Demon Marquis. He knew that he might not be able to kill the Dragon Demon Marquis even after a verbal battle, let alone now.

"Killing those two demon commanders won't yield too much dragon energy, but if we can kill this Dragon Demon Marquis, we will definitely get a lot of dragon energy. The dragon energy emitted by this Dragon Demon Marquis after his death is at least comparable to a medium-sized dragon energy eye! However, I am not its opponent yet. Once the verbal battle is ready, I will use the Dragon Demon Marquis as a sacrifice to my sword!"

Fang Yun turned around and scanned the floating cloud lands in front of him. Based on the strength of the Dragon Demon Marquis, he quickly calculated which floating cloud land the Dragon Demon Marquis could not climb and which one he could climb.

The Dragon Demon Marquis cannot fly, which is an innate disadvantage.

Fang Yun immediately selected a floating cloud land that the Dragon Demon Marquis could not climb in a short period of time, and flew straight to it.

The two dragon demon generals waited respectfully for the Dragon Demon Marquis, but the Dragon Demon Marquis glared at them with his ruby red eyes, roared towards the sky, and then slowed down, as if he knew he could not catch up.

The Dragon Demon Marquis shouted to the Dragon Demon Commander, "When did you arrive? Are the remains of the real dragon on him? Who else have you seen here?"

The two dragon demon commanders were stunned, then shook their heads like rattles, their eyes filled with panic.

“I’ve never seen the remains of a real dragon!”

"No, he was alone, we don't know anything..."

The Dragon Demon Marquis ran forward silently, with uncontrollable anger in his eyes.

The two dragon demon commanders looked at each other and ran away separately because they realized that they would be eaten by the dragon demon marquis.

"Coward!" The two-meter-tall Dragon Demon Marquis stomped his feet on the ground, causing a loud thud and the ground exploded. He jumped thirty meters high and looked down from the sky at the floating continent where Fang Yun had stayed for a long time.

"That's right. The aura of the true dragon's remains comes from here. If I eat the true dragon's remains, I will definitely become a demon king. Then I can enter several secret places on the Denglong Terrace. Once I get the treasures inside, I will definitely become a great demon king. I may even have the opportunity to be canonized and leave this place completely, roaming the world freely. I will restore my ancient demon glory!"

Dragon Demon Hou searched the entire floating cloud land but found nothing. He suddenly jumped high into the sky. On his back appeared an ancient demon ancestor spirit with a dragon head and a crocodile body. The translucent ancestor spirit was as tall as a five-story building.

Then the ancient demon ancestor's spirit drilled into the body of the Dragon Demon Marquis.

"Ah..." The Dragon Demon Hou opened his bloody mouth and transformed into a monster with a dragon head and a crocodile body. It was as tall as a three-story building, and then he clenched his right fist and punched the ground.

A huge dragon-headed ancient crocodile flew out from his right arm, and with great ferocity, it slammed into the ground.

"Boom..."

The ground within a radius of ten miles collapsed into a huge pit, and then a translucent ancient crocodile with a dragon head pierced through the thousand-foot-thick floating continent, drilled out from under the floating continent, and slowly dissipated.

"Boom..."

With the place where the Dragon Demon Marquis was standing as the center, deep cracks spread in all directions like demon snakes. The two-hundred-mile-long floating cloud land was crumbling and began to break apart.

The Dragon Demon Marquis ran to the edge, and at the moment when this small floating cloud land was about to collapse, he jumped high and jumped to another floating cloud land below, then turned around and looked at the collapsed floating cloud land.

This floating cloud land quickly peeled off from the outside to the inside, with quicksand like rain and falling rocks like snow, and finally the entire floating cloud land completely disappeared.

"There is no trace of real dragon remains on this cloud land. Perhaps it is related to that human race! Even if there is only a slight possibility, I can't give up!" The Dragon Demon Marquis chased in the direction Fang Yun fled.

When Fang Yun heard a huge vibration, he looked back and his eyelids jumped. He did not expect that the floating cloud land over 200 miles long would be destroyed so quickly. Even though this floating cloud land was not as solid as the mountains on the earth, it would take an ordinary demon lord at least half a day to smash it.

The demon marquis and the Hanlin were at the same level, and the demons or humans at this level had a power that could be described in one word: mountain-smashing. With a full-strength attack, they could shatter a mountain that was a hundred feet high!

"The dragon demon is indeed the inheritor of the dual power of the ancient demon and the dragon clan. It is constantly nourished by the dragon energy here. It is too powerful! I will avoid them if I don't want to argue with them!"

Fang Yun was flying in front, and the ancient crocodile was chasing him with all his might behind.

Fang Yun discovered that he had underestimated the jumping and gliding abilities of this ancient crocodile, and had to recalculate the route based on the floating continent.

Slowly, the distance between the man and the demon widened.

Suddenly, Fang Yun heard the Ancient Crocodile Marquis roaring in ancient demon language: "The remains of a true dragon are in the body of a human scholar!" The sound contained the blood and energy of the Ancient Crocodile Marquis, and it continued to spread in all directions, at least five hundred miles away.

Fang Yun almost turned around and cursed when he heard this. This time, there were 20 people from the human race coming in, and he was the only one who had passed the imperial examination. The monster and barbarian races and all the scholars knew that once the ancient crocodile marquis shouted, the monsters, dragon monsters and human race would come to kill him. (To be continued...)
